Elon Musk is in the news today because his divorce proceedings with soon to be ex-wife Justine Musk have revealed that he is technically broke.Â Although, he is not broke as you or I understand it.

You see, Elon Musk has what’s called a “liquidity problem.”Â The co-founder of PayPal, who is now engaged to actress Talulah Riley, is living off of loans from wealthy friends (other Silicon Valley execs, perhaps?)Â But as Musk puts it, “My assets are huge.”Â He still holds onto his stakes in some of the companies he’s founded or co-founded, which also include Tesla (the electric car company) and SpaceX.

Elon Musk’s decision to hang onto his Tesla stake is particularly important, as the company is about to go public very soon and expected to be worth about $1.4 billion.

And as for the Musk women?Â I think they’re pretty much only trending because the divorce from Justine is an inherent part of this story.Â And when the Musks’ divorce comes up, the much younger actress Talulah Riley (Elon’s fiance) also comes up.Â And, as in any case where a man is perceived to have left his partner for someone much younger, web users go wild looking for photos to compare the two women.
